Pets and Disability: How do your pets support you?

I have 4 cats and we both have disabilities.  Hubby has a siezeure disorder so when we had one In bed the cat nelix (now deceased)  would lie with him then come and alert me.  He also kept me company on the heated blanket. We now have 3 new edition over past 7 months and they sit with us. One in particular is a big comfort at 17 weeks she's already sitting with me keeping Me company. She's the companion one who won't leave us. She also loves heated blanket. Just cats around help hubby stay calm and we are never alone  having 4. With OA fibromyalgia,  nead, and fnd between us our cats are a comfort and enhance our family my sons also love them.
